CS2 is worse for high ping/high packet loss players now

[yellowmountain]

I have really bad internet (through a phone cable) and CS:GO is one of the only games that is playable for me, but now that I have tried CS2, it seems like that's no longer the case.

Packet loss sometimes leads to my crosshair getting pulled in random directions, and packet loss also makes you unable to stop moving in the direction you were holding, for example if you were going left and you let go of A, you will still keep moving in that direction. You might think, it can't be that bad, it's probably only for a very short while. No, you keep moving in that direction for 5+ seconds sometimes. There are times when either me or the enemy teleport back in time as well.

Besides the packet loss, the ping issue is also really bad, sometimes I die before the guy peeking me has appeared on my screen.

These issues didn't exist in CS:GO, so I am guessing its the tickrate that's responsible for this.

My internets upload speed is 100kb/s and the download speed is at 1.5 mb/s, and this also happens when I am the only one using the internet and no other application on my pc is using internet.

Wifi things.
Tickrate doesn't have nothing to do here.
You just have a very poor link whit your router, check your ping instead of up/down speed rates. If you are above 20 ms you are just in disadvantage against optic/tp cables players.
You should work on your router/antenna if you want to solve this.

I have been playing 2.3k hours of cs:go whit Wifi, and I can tell you is not a game side problem.

it's not the tickrate the tickrate has nothing to do with this.
its more of the new netcode not favoring connections like yours anymore.
since everyone's packets arrive much quicker than yours and get processed in order they came in. You are dead last to receive the packet from the server and also send them out. so the server and client is forcing you around to attempt to keep you in sync with everyone else.

I use ethernet and I have 23 ping, but there is a spike every 5 seconds to around 45 ping. In game I get around 40 ping and spikes to around 200 ping,

I get sometimes 15-20 ms Ingame playing whit wifi at 2.4 band and I'm quite far from router whit some walls on the path.

You might be playing servers far away where you live.
Last week I was playing on germany servers (Im spanish) 2000km of distance and I was at 50ms. Not playable since I get HS before I can see the other player model :D

40ms and 200ms spikes are not normal on cable connections, you should look at your background running apps, devices connected on router or your installation.

Just saying if this could help. ^^

I can confirm I reached MG Elite playing solo + wifi connection. It was a long journey x)
